And yeah, you could build your own cheaper.

I call BS.

At what theoretical price point for a Steam Machine, can you match the or exceed the specs, for less cost?

Ok, now also try to do that, and match the Steam Machine's power draw, and form factor.

... Go on, show me your build, with current US prices.

Unless I somehow missed an actual price announcement for the Steam Machine, I wanna see how cheap you can get an actually comparable build done for.

    I'm still waiting for a build and a price point for it.

    Would you like to see the build I've been planning out for a while?

    Its not an attempt to replicate a Steam Machine, its more of a... maximum possible bang for your buck build... it does have a similar form factor though, and an unconventional kind of architecture...

    ...though I did try to replicate a PS5 price point/performance parity build a while back... turns out, its not as easy as you may think to just lay out a PC build that's actually pretty close in price/performance to a non PC standard architecture, made by a large corporation.

    Or did you just want to do some namecalling, and entirely avoid actually backing up your claim?

    You said you could probably make that build.

    I'm just asking you to actually do that.
